1 in 3 Employees Have Dated a Work Colleague
Research from Mount Royal University found that 1 in 3 Canadian employees have dated a colleague. Younger workers aged 18 to 34 reported the highest rates at 41%.
While such relationships can boost job satisfaction and teamwork, they may also cause issues like favoritism or trust concerns, especially with power imbalances. Canada has no laws banning consensual workplace relationships, but employers must ensure a respectful environment.
Nearly half of Canadian employees in workplace relationships keep them secret, often from management.
Tim and I both married our work colleagues; with one exception, Tim is still married to his! lol!
Thanks,
Shelly and Tim
